Open Question: Is my employer obligated to provide health insurance for me?

I work for a small company owned by a very large company based in South America. They have opened a store here in florida with a different "doing business as" name. The corporation's name has stayed the same. Within the corporation there are considerably more than 50 employees; within the new company there are 8 of us. I know the situation is confusing... very much so, but if you have any helpful information its appreciated. I know that the bill would require 'large companies' with 50 or more employees to provide health insurance, with the latter being exempt and offered tax breaks if they decide to comply. My question is the following: since the corporation has more than 50 employees, but the company that the corp owns and operates has less, would they still be required to offer insurance? Would them being based in another country affect this?
